Managed Iceberg in 2026: Autonomous Data Lake
Iceberg tables degrade silently — small files pile up, snapshots bloat metadata, and query latency creeps higher. A breakdown of the nine components every production data lake needs to stay healthy.

Testimonials
LakeOps took the pain out of compaction and maintenance. We went from ad-hoc scripts and firefighting to a single control plane. Query performance improved and our platform team finally has visibility across the lake.

We evaluated several options for Iceberg operations. LakeOps stood out for its focus on automation and multi-engine support. Deployment was straightforward and the impact on cost and latency was measurable within weeks.

Iceberg tables degrade silently — small files pile up, snapshots bloat metadata, and query latency creeps higher. A breakdown of the nine components every production data lake needs to stay healthy.

Netflix spent years building an intelligent lakehouse — Polaris, Autotune, janitors, and Metacat. LakeOps lets every team build the same — and go beyond — in minutes.

A data lakehouse control plane is the automated operational intelligence layer on top of your lakehouse infrastructure — providing full observability, governance, and control while continuously maintaining and optimizing every Iceberg table and query engine for performance and cost, without vendor lock-in.
